What’s worse than woodchips and the subsequent woodchip gate?!
Blatant dumping in our own backyard.
Back weeds, directly behind the 8-track, there are 4 piles/strips of construction debris. It is all construction debris that was dumped out of a dumpster. It looks to be mainly roofing material but it basically looks like an entire house was gutted, put into dumpsters, then dumped back weeds. It’s literally everything you would see in a gutted house including a kitchen sink, awning, and satellite dish.
The area in question, which everyone should see, is behind the 8-track. After a little bit of walking around you can see the vehicle trail through the weeds. It appears that a vehicle entered the 8-track from the main trail from where they could of entered pretty much through any gate.
Which begs the question: How did they get through the gates? Who has responsibility for these gates? The city? A local organization? Then, more importantly who committed the act?
Seriously! This is truly horrible. Not just because they dumped all of this garbage but because you have this strange feeling that it could be “locals”. What kind of person dumps this stuff? Good luck to them when the investigation starts.
We will be updating this story as more updates come out.
That's truly disgusting. Any chance there is any mail with an address on it in one of those black bags? The offenders need to be "taken care of".

Good point. I had come home from work one day to find a few bags of garbage dumped on the curb in front of my house. (Thanks 61st Pct. for refusing to take the report.) Thankfully it was all papers. I found many pieces of mail with the name an address on it and "returned it" to it's rightful owner in Sheepshead Bay.

I don't think it was any locals. More than likely it was people from outside the neighborhood.
Hot debate. What do you think?

It's obviously debris from someone's recent storm damage that was repaired. I see there is a miniature satellite dish. It would be nice if one of our local residents took the time to see if it was from some work that was recently done on the house. Then they could report the person who did this work to the authorities. I suggest punishment should be a few hundred hours of community service going through our back weeds and cleanup everything that doesn't grow.

Nope. I saw this crap back there for the first time at LEAST 8 months ago, probably longer.

I think it would be hard to narrow down who dumped here because people are always working on their homes. But I agree with you on your idea of community service as punishment.

I wonder if a person was paid to remove this garbage from someone's property and they dumped it here instead of "the dump".

Who can clean it up now? Who's responsibility is it now that its unlikely we'll find the culprit. Ths is pathetic. Sadly we need cameras for a lot of reasons around here.

I'm going to place a 311 call, how about if a bunch of us do the same so maybe one of the city agencies can come out to clean it. Be sure to say it looks toxic. and kids are always playing back there.

gb chickie made an excellent point. If someone could be connected to a crime due to a microscopic piece of forensic evidence nowadays, there has GOT to be a treasure trove of evidence in that pile that points to the culprits. A bill for construction materials? Serial number on Satellite dish? There has got to be something there. The question is, who cares enough to investigate this further?? If the proper authorities don't do it, then we, the people of this community should. I'll even nominate Gb.net to rally up volunteers and get the word out. We can think of it as some kinda ecological easter egg hunt, and the "winner", or person that finds the conclusive evidence, can have an article on their heroic exploits dedicated to them here on GB.net. And there is probably a healthy reward for the information leading to the arrest and conviction of someone who dumps this much garbage on protected parkland.
